Had to chime in for the fourth 😊

I spent at least 2 years living from my couch because I couldn’t handle the stairs to my room. I get it. Ren speaks for us in a way that expresses our pain and helps us heal. So many struggle in silence 🤐

The beginning is welsh and translates to: Illness is my teacher It broke my smile My bones feel old Here lies the body of Ren Great reaction. Can't wait to see more reactions from Ren's Sick Boi album.

YES! 30 years with my husband and I just learned SO much my mind is spinning. Ren has given us his art and has us thinking and feeling…

Do more ren reactions please. you really understand lyrics, music, cinematography etc. this is rare in reactors, and ren personifies all of these and more. It's very rewarding to watch.

Totally agree 1000%

In an interview, Ren smiled when 'Urukai Master Plan' was mentioned and was excited someone heard it. He apparantly loves Lord of the Rings since he references the books in various songs. I feel this is a reference to the Nazi master plan as was writtin in LOTRO. Saruman wanted a master race of warriors to do his dirty work in Middle Earth. A reference to evil and associated various sins.

The "envy, when one mans win becomes another mans frenzy" always blows me away. He is just so profound and clever in his lyricism and wordsmithery 😊💜

That 80/20 convo was actual enlightening. That is something I feel I know but I've never experienced anyone breaking it down in that way. 🔥🔥🔥 Ren said Money Game 3 was his greatest video and Seven Sins is possibly the greatest song he ever wrote to date. I think it was a masterpiece and is a great listen every time. Great reaction!!

This is track 1 on the album and Ren knew this would be the first exposure to him in alot of cases. So he did a short version of his 13 yr journey through pain, being faced with death and his spiritual experiences. One thing u will learn as u do more of his music is that while most artists go for all "sonically pleasing" sound design, he prefers to use alot more character driven tone changes like aggression for e.g to deliver messages. Lots of subtle bars are hard to pick up on like (forensic being for-ren-sick) and the depth of the lyricism in every song always starts conversations. You're gonna be in the top 3 reactors in no time, because u have the mind and the skillset. Enjoyed your reaction alot bro. I would love the hear u do the "Money Game" series by Ren, imo they are the most important 3 songs i've heard in decades. The first is live and took 180ish takes, the 2nd is a lyric video (covid era) and the 3rd is his biggest video production thus far. The messaging in these songs is beyond words i can use to describe them.

My man, I found REN last October and fell down the rabbit hole of videos and reactions HARD ever since. I’ve watched hundreds of reactions to most of his songs, but even though I just found you last night, you’re finding things I’ve never noticed or seen anyone else call out. Nice work man!

Ren also says “Cried Tears from Heaven like Clapton” as in Eric Claptons song Tears In Heaven about his sons death.

actually , those two bars were actually three... "Cried tears from Heaven like Clapton Stick pins in a voodoo, Hendrix Thick skin, stay humble, Kendrick" Eric Clapton wrote and performed a song, "Tears in Heaven" after the accidental death of his young son as a tribute to him..

Wow. The 80/20 analogy. Blew my mind. Thats an insight ive never heard but thankful i did. Truly wonderful. Glad i have my 80%. ❤

Only recently found you, but already you’’re one of my favourite reactors. I really appreciate your intelligent, insightful breakdowns. With so many of the others , much of it just goes right over their heads 🫤

You like flow switches? You've come to the right place 😊 The Hunger, Losing it, Illest of Our Time, Genesis... I hear ya, you can't do them all but you should try 😂

You would freak out if you heard "Masochist" From REN. Wrote it back in 2021 and didn't release it till couple months ago. Ren was in a very bad mental state and was so sick being in a sick body wanted everything to die. Kill everything. Powerful song.

I watch many reviewers and the thing that irritates me the most is watching so many clueless people that stop it every few seconds with a remark that is not even close to what Ren is getting at. With that, I have to say you have the best insight into what Ren is trying to say, and actually don't mind your pauses at all. Thank you from this old man for giving me some faith that some people still have a brain, and you proved that so well.

Man, your 80/20 explanation was great. I'd been engaged for a couple years when I was in college. I loved him, but we had gotten comfortable. I definitely had that 80. He was just about everything I had ever looked for. Some guy in one of my classes caught my eye. We talked before and after class and had lunch together on campus. Then I sort of shook myself and thought wtf am I doing? I told that guy we couldn't even talk anymore. I realized I could give up the relationship I had to chase the new... and then do it all again in another few years... again and again. Always the new. Or I could have forever with someone. I'm happy to say we're nearly 26 years into forever. ❤

20% wise words indeed.

I can see why he subscribed, because are authentic with you words. And I'm 51 and I know the deal, and Ren is much needed in hip hop. I been waiting for someone to use rap and music to help people relate. He is on another level.🙏✌️🤙

Clapton. Hendrix. Kendrick.

Oh yes it was magnificent! Seven Sins is my favorite🔥I love listening to you👍 thanks for the awesome reaction

the 80/20 is a fantastic breakdown as well

Great breakdown, really enjoyed it!

Your options now are either going down the album list… with Sick Boi being next… most requested.. which most likely will be Wicked Ways… either way.. you will not be disappointed 😁… thanks for your great reactions!! I got sooo excited when this one dropped 😊😁

Sick Boi is an obvious suggestion but also Illest of our Time if you were surprised by the bars in this you have a shock to your system on it's way! Losing It, The Hunger and Murderer too. I enjoy your reactions they are intelligent and thoughtful. 😎

Loved your 80/20% analogy

Really enjoy your reactions and breakdowns!

When you hold yourself hostage in your house (or are physically stuck) it DOES become comfortable. As much as you WANT to venture out, its easier and less pressure to just stay where youre suppressed yet safe and comfortable. Stacie from Boston

Loved the 80/20 analogy. It is a great perspective

You reminded me of when we lived on Okinawa where ppl practice hara hachi bu: the 80% rule. For longevity and health stop eating when you are 80% full. You don’t need that other 20%

Dude those were some great words about the 20%. Especially listening to this song, where yeah sure it'd be easy to want the abilities Ren has, his voice, his ability to create music. Music that is possible to create because years of training. Years of pain. It's so easy, just as you say, to get blinded by the 20%. Man thanks, I love my life and myself just a bit more now. I am absolutely going to use your analogy, first and foremost talking to myself. Also good stuff calling out a good conversation, it's to be celebrated.

Great reaction brother. Everyone catches the Hendrix and Kendricks bar but they miss the first one..Tears in Heaven by Clapton

With Ren his stuff isn't necessarily put out in order. Great reaction!

it were actually 3 bars in a row 1. Cried tears from heaven like Clapton (reference to Eric Clapton´s "Tears in Heaven") 2. Stick pins in a voodoo, Hendrix (reference to Jimmy Hendrix´s "Voodoo Child") 3.Thick skin, stay humble, Kendrick (reference to Kendricks Lamar´s "Humble") Then comes a chorus like hook interlude part ("Lights on Lights on") and he continues with "Let it be Let it be, quote Lennon"..(reference to Beatles song "Let it be" written by John Lennon) which would be Nr4 Thought´s stay darker than a Uruk Hai masterplan = a "Lord of the Rings" reference... "Uruk Hais" were the Ork like monsters created by the Wizard Saruman as his masterplan in order to support Sauron.

excellent 80/20 explanation

I can’t wait for you to get to his live busking sessions with his band The Big Push on the streets of Brighton UK. First one to check should be I Shot the Sheriff/ Road to Zion/ Hip Hop mashup. You talk about his layers, here is another one, he is very soulful. (He had to leave his group a year ago because he was and is still getting medical treatment in Canada.) If you wanna see Ren do the most outrageous flow switches please checkout Losing It (Fisher Rap version) his pen is amazing.

Your 80/20 analogy was eye opening. Living in reality is always the best way. Glad i came across you. Peace, from England 🇬🇧 🙏 ❤

Liked your analogy about the grass is greener. So true. Great reaction overall. For recs: "Illest of Our Time" for a song from the new Sick Boi album. "Humble" if you're looking for an older track (It features Eden Nash. Their "Ocean" is fire too.)

Y'all ever notice that when Doc suggests a reactor, Ren leaves a comment? I mean, Ren's great in his appreciation and support for reactors, but with Doc's big reveal right around the corner, it does seem to be just a _wee_ bit of a coincidence, no?

Oh hell yeah. Your thing about 80/20 is spot on. Nobody is 100%. No two people are completely compatible. Nobody can fulfill you in every possible way. No matter how good the relationship, there'll always be aspects of your self that you have to find other ways to fulfill. It goes both ways, too. If you want to find your 20%, and expect your partner to be flexible enough to allow you the freedom to do that, guess what? You have to let them find theirs, too. Sometimes that's literal, with an open relationship. More often, it's through friends or hobbies. Expecting one person to be your _everything_ is just a fantasy, and that fantasy only leads to disappointment, and before you know it, instead of hanging out with friends and doing things you love, you're hanging out with a bottle in a bar, or just so miserable you can't enjoy the 80% that you _do_ have. You're a sharp dude... you seem young to have that much wisdom, too. Although... you did talk about being in the music business for 20 years, plus college, which would probably make you about the same age as me. 🤔 I hope your partner got the analogy and isn't upset about not being 100%. That's a hard pill to swallow for someone who hasn't had that particular epiphany yet.
